Arsenal head into the summer window with a clear focus on the left wing and central midfield, targeting players like Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers and Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez. The club’s ambition to stay champions hinges on blending new talent with a sustainable budget.

Aston Villa faces a tough decision: sell a star such as Rogers, valued at £80 million, or risk breaching UEFA financial rules. Goalkeeper Emi Martinez also attracts interest from Juventus, adding pressure to the club’s transfer strategy.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, protects core figures Rayan and Junior Kroupi while seeking a left‑sided centre‑back to replace Marcos Senesi. The club’s emphasis on retention mirrors its broader aim to build a competitive squad for the next season.

Brentford’s fresh signing of Jannik Schuster shows a commitment to depth, yet the club must still decide whether to keep high‑priced stars like Igor Thiago or open the door for new talent in key positions.
